The Seychelles offer a wide range of activities for families. Many of these can be enjoyed during a catamaran cruise,

experiences not to miss when travelling with children.
Snorkelling is one of the most enjoyable activities during a family cruise in the Seychelles.
The shallow lagoons and crystal-clear waters make it easy for both adults and children to discover the underwater world.
While snorkelling, the whole family can admire colourful tropical fish, coral reefs, and other fascinating marine life.
The calm waters also make the experience safe and relaxing for young swimmers.
Some of the best places for snorkelling include Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue, St Pierre Islet near Praslin,
and Anse Lazio on Praslin, where the clear waters and granite rocks create excellent
conditions for discovering colourful fish and coral reefs.
The Seychelles archipelago can satisfy swimming and sunbathing enthusiasts. The country offers them many beautiful beaches fringed with palm or coconut trees and decorated with white rocks.
Those of Anse Marron or Anse Coco on the Digue are particularly noteworthy. Benefiting from a picturesque landscape, these beaches are quiet and have clear water that encourages swimming.
Cycling is one of the most enjoyable activities during a family stay in the Seychelles. It is a wonderful
way to stay active while discovering the islands’ beautiful scenery at your own pace.
La Digue is the ideal island for cycling in the Seychelles. With its small roads and very little car traffic,
the island offers a peaceful and safe environment to explore by bike.
While riding around the island, you can visit places such as Union Estate Park, home to giant tortoises,
and the famous Anse Source d’Argent, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
If you are travelling with young children, many bicycles are available with rear child seats,
allowing the whole family to enjoy the ride together.
The Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This unique palm forest is home to many rare plant and animal species.

The reserve is also home to the rare Seychelles Black Parrot, an endemic bird found only in the Seychelles.
Well-marked trails make it easy to explore the forest and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this remarkable natural site.
This is one of the most exciting activities to experience in the Seychelles.
